Get seen, linked, and cited while buyers decide.
FTS Optimize turns a free listing into a Verified badge, a real dofollow link, and a real shot at AI-assistant citation, in front of Indian buyers at the moment they choose. Placement is always labeled, and the buyer-facing verdict is never for sale.
Fast-track review
A decision within 2 working days. If we ask for changes, your re-review is fast-tracked too. Paying never changes whether we list you or where you rank. If we don't list you, we refund you in full.
An add-on: tick it on the application form with any plan below, or with the free listing.
Every review is done by a person, so we clear only a few free applications a day. Free applications wait in that queue and we can't promise a date.

Pay and go live
Once we confirm you own the tool, we switch on exactly what your plan includes.
- Does paying for fast-track review change whether you list me?
- No. Fast-track buys a faster decision, within 2 working days, and a fast-tracked re-review if we ask for changes. Every review is done by a person, so we clear only a few free applications a day. Free applications wait in that queue and we can't promise a date. We apply the same bar either way, and paying never changes where you rank. If we don't list you, we refund the full ₹1,499.
- Why should I pay now if your search traffic is still early?
- Because the core value does not depend on our Google rankings. A dofollow link is a real link the day it goes live. AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity) are already our fastest-growing channel, and a source-backed listing with Founder Q&A is the kind of page they quote when a buyer asks about your category. We can't promise any assistant will cite you, and a citation is brand visibility first, not a guaranteed click. The Verified badge is real trust for buyers now. Optimize's Promoted spot and the homepage sponsorship do depend on traffic, which is why they are priced modestly.
- Is a good ranking or verdict for sale?
- No. Money buys clearly labeled extras: a badge, a link, a Promoted or Sponsored spot that is always marked. Your ranking, the buyer-facing verdict and the fit rating are never for sale, and we only ever feature a tool we would genuinely recommend to a buyer. That is what keeps a placement worth paying for: it lands as a real suggestion, not an ad in disguise.
- What is a dofollow link and why is it a paid feature?
- A dofollow link passes SEO value to your site; a nofollow link does not. By default every outbound vendor link on FindThatSoftware is nofollow, so we never give away our link equity for free. Backlink + AI-cite and Optimize include a dofollow link; the Verified plan does not. Directories that pretend every listing is a free backlink are not being straight with you.
- How do I pay, and when does it go live?
- New tool: pick a plan on the application form and pay through secure checkout. Already listed: find your tool on the vendor page, claim it, and pay from its upgrade page. Add-ons are arranged by email. Payment does not auto-publish anything: we confirm you own the tool first, then switch on what your plan includes, usually within a working day. If your tool is not one we would recommend to a buyer, we refund you rather than list it.
